T56 crushers what pilot bearing
Ok my trans should be done this week finally im pumped . I had a ram kevlar composite pilot bushing and well im thinking that's not guna work anymore when I pulled the trans it backed out and it looked slightly wallord out so I am replacing it as well as my release bearing just because. My question is what is the best pilot bearing or bushing to buy after all the money spent on my trans I really do not want to get one that will fail and distroy the shaft end. I have a new TIMKEN roller bearing for it ive heard these type are prone to fail or is this a myth RPM told me to run this style they are stronger im sure they no what they are talking about but . So what are you guys running . Thanks David.

Doesn't look too good. What is that behind the bushing? Grease?

No it's part of the bushing. It's hogged out pretty good. That's only 1500 miles on that bushing.

I'm just using a solid bushing, I had two if the bearing style start to squeal on me. None of them failed but the noise was too much for me every time I had the clutch in.

I thinking im going to just use the good old bronze bushing after this kevlar crap failing and my google searches on the bearing stile it seems like the way to go . By the way ram was really shocked that there bushing failed. Thanks for the input guys.
